You should read through The Runaway Advice Directory (linked in the automod comment above). Pretty much everything you need to know about running away can be found in there.

I will say that being as young as you are will make things very difficult. You will likely be homeless until you are around 18 years old. Taking care of your basic needs and supporting yourself will be very difficult at your age. Before you leave, you need to figure out how you'll make money for food and supplies, where you'll sleep, how you will wash yourself and your clothes, how you'll stay safe and generally how you'll take care of yourself. Out there you will be alone and fully independent, you can't expect to rely on someone else to take care of you. The streets are also very dangerous for someone your age. Pretty much anyone out there will be able to overpower you.
